of  the  firdess  cooker.  In  this  device  the  princi- 
ples of  refrigerator  construction  have  been  ap- 
plied to  a cook  stove.  The  Ikhc  is  built  primarily 
of  sheet  iron  with  an  Outer  wooden  frame.  Be- 


tween iron  and  wood  ts  a iwo-inch  fireproof  in- 
sutaLirtg  material  through  which  there  no  ap- 
preciable loss  of  heat.  The  box  or  stove  is 

mounted  on  casters  and

are  mounted.  These  may  he  lighted  and  used 
open,  or  after  the  article  hag,  been  brought  to 
boiling  point,  the  gas  may  lie  turned  out  and 
the  hood  let  down  over  the  article,  so  that 
it  will  cook  by  means  of  retained  heat,  Thu 
hoods  are  so  hung  as  Lo  be  easily  lifted  and 
adjusted.  The  device  is  in  fact  a fire  less  cook 
stove,  the  ordinary  operations  of  cooking  being 
accomplished  on  it  as  with  any  gas  stove,  while 
all  the  work  done  by  fireless  cookers  can  be  done 
with  security  and  comparative  ease.  Made  by
